Comparative characteristics of individual growth Spicara flexuosa and maena (Pisces: Centracanthidae) inhabiting the south-western shelf Crimea, Black Sea

Beginning in 1998, coal-fired and oil-fired power plants will be required to estimate and report their annual mass emissions to the national Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). The TRI is a publicly reported inventory of emissions to air, water and land of approximately 600 chemicals designated as “toxic” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This paper reviews the current status of TRI...

A chief hindrance to the practical value of AI scheduling and planning tools stems from the difficulty in adequately encoding domain knowledge. Using imperfect domain knowledge, fully automated systems that abstract away the ‘scruffy’ real world tend to produce fragile schedules that omit important constraints and optimize artificial metrics. As a result, these systems are ultimately often reje...

This letter describes the implementation of an improved small-signal ac simulation capability in the general-purpose device simulator PISCES-IIB. The preconditioned generalized conjugate algorithm has been implemented, which allows ac simulations to be performed up to any frequency without convergence problems, although at great computational expense. The current implementation of PISCES-IIB us...

• We have developed a facility that enables scientists to investigate a wide range of sound-processing schemes for human subjects with cochlear implants. This digital signal processing (DSP) facility-named the Programmable Interactive System for Cochlear Implant Electrode Stimulation (PISCES)-was designed, built, and tested at Lincoln Laboratory and then installed at the Cochlear Implant Resear...

ANDREWS, A.P., 1985 (31:vii): A new species of Galaxias (Pisces: Galaxiidae) from southern Tasmania. Pap.Proc. R.Soc . .Tasm. 119:55-60, one pI. ISSN 0080-4703. Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 7000. A new species of Galaxias from southern Tasmania is described and figured. The probable mode of origin and relationship with other members of the genus are discussed.

The architectures of deployed anonymity systems such as Tor suffer from two key problems that limit user’s trust in these systems. First, paths for anonymous communication are built without considering trust relationships between users and relays in the system. Second, the network architecture relies on a set of centralized servers. In this paper, we propose Pisces, a decentralized protocol for...
